Standing Stones

The Story

Born on the Isle of Arran

On the 29th of April 2014, at the Lochranza Distillery on the Isle of Arran, a spirit was distilled that would go on to rest and mature for over eleven years. Nestled at the foot of the mountains where the river Easan Biorach meets the sea, Lochranza is a place where nature and craft converge.

Named after the ancient standing stones of Machrie Moor on Arran's western coast, this whisky carries the spirit of the island — wild, timeless, and deeply rooted in the Scottish landscape. These Bronze Age monuments have stood for over 4,500 years, silent witnesses to the passage of time.

Tasting Notes

A Journey for the Senses

Nose

On the Nose

Rich dried fruits and Christmas cake, with warm sherry sweetness. Hints of orange peel, toasted almonds, and a whisper of cinnamon give way to deeper notes of dark chocolate and polished oak.

Palate

On the Palate

Full-bodied and luxuriously textured at cask strength. Waves of stewed plums, fig compote, and toffee unfold, balanced by warming spice — clove, nutmeg, and a gentle peppery heat. The sherry influence is unmistakable.

Finish

The Finish

Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit, oak tannins, and a subtle maltiness. A touch of cocoa and espresso emerges as it fades, leaving a warm, spiced afterglow.
